Scrapbook Power Hour with Meggan and Tessa

This evening I joined Meggan and Tessa for a Scrapbook Power Hour - they shared two adorable layouts.

This has been a busy week - so not sure when I'll get the second layout completed.

Ecal Users Gift Card Holder Challenge

Here's a gift card holder.  I used paper from the Be Bold Be Bright pack from Paper Studio.  I added a glittered star (Piccolo glitter is so shiny!)  

I created this for the Ecal Users Group Gift Card Holder Challenge.

More Inspiration from We Are 3

Last weekend's monthly virtual crop at Creative Memories is always open to a few different interpretations. 

New Challenge at Paper Ala Mode

Today there's a new challenge at Paper Ala Mode.  The theme is "Christmas."  Indeed!  The Dreamy Creamy collection is particularly special for Christmas.  

Just look at this elegant paper!  Fabulous it is!  It's always so much fun to add just a bit of color to this paper collection.

The garden of flowers are fussy cut and popped atop a box card from Simply Crafty.  Been saving this file for just such a challenge.  The sentiment is from the new Christmas Banners set.  Hope you go visit the Paper Ala Mode Challenge to see the festive makes by the Design Team - please come play along.  See you there!  By the way, there's only one more challenge for the year!

Happy Birthday!

I wanted to make a simple card for my hubby for his birthday - two weeks early - and was inspired by this week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoast Stampers. 

It's a single-layer card created digitally.

The Birthday Surprise?  Tickets to a Red Wings game.

Sketch Challenge at Creative Memories Virtual Crop

I made a layout with digital papers from the We Are 3 Paris Cafe collection.   

Bumble Bee at We Are 3

The adorable papers are Bumble Bee.  I used a sentiment from Birthday Wishes for my title.

I've fallen totally in love with the Bumblebee papers at We Are 3.  They're such magical colors.  Please visit the We Are 3 Facebook Page to see more inspiration from the Design Team.

I created this layout for the Creative Memories Virtual Crop last weekend.

We Are 3 Paris Cafe

This layout was for the November Virtual Crop at Creative Memories.  The fun papers are called Paris Cafe.  

Creative Memories Virtual Crop

I usually take a shortcut when I see a sketch with a "brick" element.  Today, though, I actually cut out each of the bricks with my Eclips and placed them.  It truly is a nicer look.  I then embellished with a stocking and Santa - both from We Are 3.

We Are 3 Floral Heart

 There's a new release at We Are 3 - Floral Heart.

We Are 3 Inspiration

There's new paper with coordinating printables at We Are 3 - Merry Little Christmas.   

The collections have four fun images that lend themselves to easy Christmas card making - for this card I chose the cute penguin.  He's popped up against the coordinating penguin-patterned paper, and I just love how quick and easy this was.  I used Cactus Thoughts for my sentiment.

I thought the focal image really need no other embellishments.  There is fun colorful inspiration by the design team on the Facebook Page, so be sure to hop on over and have a look.

Christmas Tag Challenge at the Ecal Users Group

I'm so excited to be participating in an exciting challenge for Ecal Users.   I am so happy to be showcasing Tag #10 now.

The candle and holly image is colored digitally.  The background is a lattice pattern from Monica's Creative Room that I shrunk - I didn't resize it; I added a new smaller frame.

New Featured Stamper Challenge at Splitcoast

I chose the sweet Cactuses Again and Again to embellish this card.  Aren't they just precious?  The papers are from the fabulous Paper Studio paper pack The Shoppe on the Square paper pack from Hobby Lobby.  

Cactuses Again and Again are pre-colored.  They are cut with my Eclips and popped atop the card layers.

I hope you can come join the Featured Stamper Challenge.

Paper Studio The Shoppe on the Square

At the last Snippy Scrappers Crop, we had a card workshop inspired by Meggan and Tessa.  I think I've become a huge fan of them, so I CASEd the cards using a different set of papers.  I finally chose Paper Studio's The Shoppe on the Square.  I used Cactuses Again and Again from the Hungry JPEG for my embellishments - perfect for a hostess gift here in Arizona.

Bubbles

I've finally got it together enough to make some cards.  My card today is Bubbles - quite a fave of mine.  I added a flower. The Bubbles digital paper is new.  Hope you like it.

Giving Thanks at Paper Ala Mode

Here I am today with a new challenge at Paper Ala Mode for The Outlawz.  I made a treat box with two products of We Are 3's Autumn sets - Howdy Autumn and Harvest.  These are just perfect for a Thanksgiving dinner favor.  

Magical Gel Prints - Freebie Progressive Claudia's Plant

The new Progressive Freebie Challenge at The Outlawz has a digi stamp from Sheepski Stamps - Claudia's Plant. 

The base is scalloped using My Scrap Chick's Heart Square Frame.  The doily is an Aztec Monogram Frame (Love SVG), and the fabulous Magical Gel Print background is from We Are 3.

The We Are 3 Design Team projects run the gamut, so be sure to stop by the Facebook page for fabulous inspiration - and please come play along at The Outlawz.  See you there!

Virtual Crop by Scrapbook Generation

I'm so excited to finally create a layout that uses the golf embellishments I've been hoarding.  I used papers from Great Graphics. The layout is inspired by a Virtual Crop Sketch Challenge at SG Scrap Squad.  When I decided to use the triangles for the layered design, I didn't realize they would actually look like the greens flags.  Had I thought of that, I would have added the 18 flag numbers to the flags.
